TRADE.--T 111: Gltr.Elol. :MARen 25.—A petition from the iNterchalltS of Paris and Havre, requiring that severer laws should be ea. acted to repress the Slave Trade, gave rise to a discussion of considerable interest. The Petitioners alleged, that the Slave Trade is continued with increasing activity under the French flag, and thrt the laws have only added to its barbarity. To escape them, 3or 400 are now stowed in a space that was for. metly regarded nH haillly sufficient roe a fourth or this numbet, The treatment which ensues is horrible ; and, said the Pet tleners, " the Slave Trade vet4sela throw overboard annually three thonsaml negroes." The Reporter on the petition stated, that he believed the Petitioners exaggerated ; but he admit. ted that the traffic WWI extensively carried on. The Govern ment take active measures to prevent It; Nessels at all objects Of suspicion are closely watched, and men-of-war cruise off Cuba to capture vessels engaged lAN* trade. They are not allowed to leave the ports of France. In conclusion, it was proposed to remit the Petition to the President of the Council, in order to the establishing of measures which should completely put an end to the trade, On this motion, General SE UASTIANC said, that a law forbad this trade, which France had contracted a solemn engagement to repress. Either the law was: insufficient, and Ministers cul 'Able for not procuring a better law ; or it was sufficient, an they were culpable for not executing it, Vessels employed in • the slave trade enjoyed a scandalous impunity, more than 30 such vessels having left the port of' Nantes this year. By con tinuing the importation of slaves, the white inhabitants of the Antilles were exposed to danger; for at the first commotion, all theettielanda would form pluck republics. But whereVer slavery existed, the 31inistry lent it their support. To the Negro Slave Trnde they added n trade in White sieves ["°Now for the Greeks," exclaimed a voice!. The French Ministry, continued M. Sebamtiani, recruit officers 'for the Paella of Egypt Tinder their auspices, they set sail to enrol themselves under Altismulmen banners. Their policy is .false, anti their send. manes perverted.—(Murrintrs.) M..de Vir.t.rete observed, that the previous speaker had pointed out no means of remedying the evil. complained of, and that he had limited his observations to stating some in,rreet 'facts, and to declaiming ug.tinst the Ministry. The precautions to prevent the Slave Trade were as great as freedom of come mem would allow. Vessels carrying on this trade have been iaurottied in foreign ports, and at present the Court of Cessation had to decide if those who left France, and took refuge in ether tountriee, could be prosecuted there. To add fresh severity to the law would only make those engaged in, the trade take still more inhuman precautions than at present. The difficulty con. elated in applying the law, and preventing the trade, and to this object the .111inietere had directed their attention. lie concluded this part of the subject by exhorting the Chamber to believe that the Minietry had acted correctly; and to hope that every year would see the number_ of complaintediminish. lie then pro ceeded to another question.. He foresaw, he said, that an at. tempt would be made to correct the Slave Traria With what had - been called the Trade In 'White Slaves. Wherever it had been said Slavery existed, the French Ministry lent it their support. The following Official Report, sent by the Commander of the French station In the levant, would thew if this were the case. The Minister rend the doeument, while the Nisembly listened Frith profound.silenee " Nov. ti, 1023.—The Turkish fleet, consisting of 134 sail, upwards of 80 being vessels of war, arrived on November 3d, under Cape Matapan, without meeting with the Greeks.— Among the transports with the fleet, 3 are Tuscan yessels, tl Austrian, 7 English, 3 Sardinian, Spanish, I American, and nut a single French vessel [approbation], which is a satisfac tory refutation of those journale which protentl that the French ships are worse than,the Austrian. These Journals would pro. hably. blush if they knew whose voice they echoed in these calumnies. During my last residence at Napoli, the Greeks begged of me to procure the release' of some women and 0111- st/en who had been taken by the soldiers of Ibrahim The corvette La Diane Was at Modon, and on my request lb. raiffin gave up to' Copt. Rouloy all the women slaves within his . reach, and whom. he purchased of hie own soldiers. f sen t these families to Napoli. (Signed) "Rion ." Another letter, dated September 23, denied and refuted an assertion made in the journal &Hydra, that the French had tired en the Week Admiral Cantais. A communication, dated • Dec, 20, Itl2Cr, was as follows To all these calumnies the Ministers may and will reply, that since the commencement of the Greek contest, the vessels of his Majesty have served as an folhirti for upwards of 7,000 Greeks, men, women, and chll dren ; that they still daily come on board, and that the Officers Of, the Navy, without being anxious to see their names on a .Sabstription i,ist, have rendered to humenity, It; the persons of the Greeks, servicdequivalent to many subscriptions, and which have attained their immediate and wished-for object; that the vessels of ins Mlesty have never transpo r t e d e i t h er troops or money Into the Urea for tho Turks • and that in all their expeditions the flag of every nation has Len seen ex. cape that of France."—Dlravo !I.—The Minister concluded by raying, there was no reason w reproach the Government with what 110 had to suffer under; and that the Govern ment had, both in regard to the Slave Trade and to the Greeks acted with scrupulous fidelity, in both cases it lied been ' ,salons!! seconded !iv its officers, particularly by Viet. Admiral flaigan and Admiral Rigny. ii::NJAst. Costs.rotT observed, that It was impos. if the punishment or death were to be infli cte d on those tR~-tl in the Slave Trade, it could make them commit greater enormities than throwing human beings into the sea. The p usee t ponishinent of confiscation, he contended, was Made . quote for one suceessful voyage compensated for the loss of voo d s . As to the other question, he said it was noto rious that reeroits for the Pacha of Egypt were openly levied in Vrance, and that the Ministers preserved their rank to those officers who. entered into his service. He was willing to W- T. nova - that French vessels had been with the TurkiSh fleet, ttw.weraHthere no French officers ? Were there not French ‘o4'4,4 l 4ol'ittnat4 tbs wand of Missolonglii, and wore they not. authorised ? The M inisters, he said, wished it to be believed, that they were hampered by diplomatic difficulties; but be ex. horted them to 'take a high grounde•and act on a national sys tern, and they would then not require to study the opinions of those who livediat the extremity of Europe. He concluded by calling on the Chamber not to deliVer the Greeks Into the hands • of the Turks; for, by protecting the Greeks, they would do more, when every body was talking about religion, for it, than by all their pompous processions and ceremonies. M Dnoox opposed the prayer of the petition, and said that too rigorous laws, making the Judges avoid their applicatinn, would. tend to encourage the trade. It was not believed in the Colonies that a spirit of philanthropy had caused the yrohibi tive measures, but a wish, to ruin the French Colonies ; and there it was supposed that France alone executed these mea sures. France does not dellver herself up . to the Slave Trade; but England exercises it as in times past. In France, during the last year, forty. two sentences were pronounced for contra ventions of the law forbidding the Slave Trade. In England, not a single condemnation had taken place. Ile quoted an English Journal, to chew that, since 1012, 90,000 slaves had been imported into the Isle of France, and concluded by oppos ing General Sebastiani's motion. General Stniateriawt again contended, that the Minister had neither denied nor explained the circumstances of the Pacha of Egypt littinß out vessels at Marseilles, and of French 010- cers:having disciplined his army. The right of searching ves .engaged in the Slave Trade was already practised by the English ; and M. Dutton seemed to hirget that the English Parliament is about to emancipate the slaves, and that this measure had been called for by petitions from every part of England. AL the Vita.ELE, in reply, remarked, that the privilege of building and fitting out ships at Marseilles had been granted to other powers, and could not be refused to the Pacha, though he had not been authorised to arm his vessels there. lie had received permission to have a frigate and a corvette built. As to the recruiting for the Paella, he did not deny that ; hut he asked, why was the Government to be forced from its wise sys tem of neutrality, when men, money, and arms, were publicly sent to ether places than Egypt. Re avowed that the Govern ment treated the Pacha with much complacency, but that it followed a rule of rigid impartiality. It was proved that the Greeks permitted their vessels to commit piracy, and the Frenth men-of-war had been ordered to protect the French trade. The Order of the Day was then.put and carried, which had the effect of negativing any further proceedings relative to the petition. • A discussion followed on a petition relative to the law of mar riage ; and, on coming to the vote, the Keeper of the Seals, who spoke against remitting the petition to himself for consideration: was left in a minority, and the, petition referred to the Keeper of the Seals.

The enemy on the frontier is preparing to make an inroad on the plain, for the purpose, which has already been sufficiently indicated, of seizing all the cattle and horSes which may be met with, and carrying them off to the 'Ri'o Grande.. On the 15th, 4£17 of the enemy ap. peared in Chuy, and directed their course to. wards the interior. We have no doubt that the national troops will soon fall in with them, and that they will quickly teach the despots how they ought to conduct themselves towards men who are animated by the flame of liberty.—The following Proclamation has been printed in this city DON JUAN ANTONIO LAVALLEJA, nutoAntra.oovEuxon AND CAPTAIN-GENERAL OF THE ORIENTAL PROVINCE, TO Tut: INDADITANTS THEREOF : " When I landed on the shores or my native country from the ominous'yolte of the despot of Brazil, l r.died solely on the noble enthusiasm which inflame 4 your breasts against the unjust usurper. Without preparation, without resources, and confiding entirely in your energy and valour, I found myself victorious, on the 24th of September, and the 12th of October, in the Rincon doles Gallinas, and Cuchilla del Sarandi. What glory did yen not acquire on those brilliant days ! The liberty of the Oriental province was sealed with the blood of some of her valiant sons ; and , alarm and terror was diffused through the whole territory of Brazil. Nevertheless, the cruel Pedro who again wishes to see the blood of his subjects flow, has de termined to invade this province, to lay waste our plains, and exterminate their inhabitants. " People of the Eastern Province ! The moment has ar rived when your duty requires you to take up arms. Think On the unhappy fate 'that awaits you if you yield to disgraceful apathy. just vengeance once wore inspires you with pattio. tic enthusiasm. We are forced to engage in war, and we must make our enemies feel its.fatal consequences. The tyrant dreads the resistance of free men, and be assured that his cowardly slaves will not easily forget the charge of Sarandi. If our resolution be unanimous, we shall speedily conclude the campaign, in which I will, us I have always done, accom pany you, and joyfully' become your chief and companion. " LAVALLEJA. " Head-quarters, on match, Dec.l9, 11125." LATEST INTELLUIENCE. Ry letters from Monte-Video, we learn that the Emperor of Brazil has declared war against the Republic of the United Provinces. This - declaration was brought by the Brazillian frigate Paula, which arrived at the above-mentioned port on the 17th instant, after a passage of eight days. On the 20th the frigate is to set sail with the-other vessels of the enemy's squadron, to blockade Moms-Ayres. Viscount de la Laguna has received orders to march to Rio Grande, to conduct the war. It is momentarily expected that hostilities will actively com mence on both sides. The National Government has pre pared all its means of defence., and every thing seems to pro miss that the period has , now arrived when the cause of liberty and justice will secure an everlasting triumph through out the whole American continent. 11 1, E. The following Proclamation has been issued by the Supreme Director, on undertaking the comnittud of the c.xpeditiowugainst Chiloe " Tim PEOPLE. OF THE REPUOLIC. " Fellow.citizens-1 feel myself imperiously called upon to carry the stentiard of liberty to the Archipelago of Chiloe. This appears to me the most honourable of those risks which I sin at all times determined to encounter against the cool. moo enemy of our independence. The dignity of the Govern. ment I the necessity of giving integrity and uniformity to the natural territory of the Republic, the necessity also of confirm ing its security and that of the other states of emancipated America: and, finally, the completion of the nuetsures tated by the Legislature, urgently call for the execution of this important enterprise. It' It be difficult to explain the conduct of my predecessors, whose differences have afforded the 'oppreesers of our brethren in Chiloe sufficient time for obe Wining the kind and extent of force Which they may now oppose to us, and without which they might have been easily expelled, the mere authority with which the parties accused of so much indolence and imprudence were clothed, imposes upon us the duty of repairing the neglect. " All the different nations which at the expellee of so much blood have; obtained their independence, view with just feel. Ings of jetiloeay inui indignation this interesting point, which, situate at the entrance of the Pacific:, might, with still more facility than Callen or San Juan do Ulloa, serve as a head quarters for the fitting out of new expeditions, 'by: which the obstinacy of our implacable enemies keep up, if' not 'their ex tinguished hope of a certqin triumph, at least their sanguinary hatred and expectation that the continuance of the horrors at' war may paralyze the .progressive improvement of good insti. unions, and w eary out the constancy of a people, who regard themselves ..e Arcady in possession of the means of tranquilly consolidating their civil liberty. We should be criminal were we to shut our ears to the respecteble voice by which this uni. versul cry is - uttered, " The reincorporation of this part of the Chilian territory interests us very closely. It forms the boundary of cur south. ern provinces. We shall be seriously respOnsible to the present generation and to posterity, if we leave in foreign bands this important, key, anti under it that unfortunate portion of our coaipatrione whose want of the advantages of political regene. ration deprives us of the reciprocity of their commerce, and separates hi the social state, those whom nature lids geographi. cally united. These considerations induced the Sovereign Congress in 1823 to decree the expedithin for the deliverance at' Chiloe, which the assemblies of Coquimbo, Santiago, and Conception had previously sanctioned. Never was it more agreeable to me to be placed at the head of t the national forces than in obeying this decree. To-morrow I depart to fulfil it, It' the result correspond with my wishes, I ehall have the happiness of se. curing victory, though it should be at the expence of my life, and I should never share those days of prosperity which the triumph must give to Chile. " In fact, when our frontiers are secured by the incorporation of Chiloe, a small number of veteran troops will he sufficient for our tiue nhertee Is m s i e n c is u h ri e t t y i , rs all u d e c t i h i o n e p i ro o p t o o r f t 6 0 1 e n T s gnoo t : h iei e can i t lf r i da t eg ilT ni y :tt i ie n rde . alleviated, the revenue may be applied to purposes Calculated to make the great benefits anticipated from the revolution felt, and to o re f p l a s ir y t e h t e as sacr4f i t i e e es p o ro f g a te te ss rr o ib i le e i v a i t i r iz u um and of principles will then find no obstacle toehe extension of their influence, and the citizen will regard this epoch ait the cool. mencement of his civil enjoyments. 1 shall concur in accrete. rating this event, even though the moment of its arrival Should be the last of .my exietence. " The Supreme Government is, in the mean time, intrusted to a body composed of' citizens,, whose distinguished popularity is well appreciated by public opinion, and whose civic talents anti virtues jestly merit the judgment pronounced upon them. These citizens are the &entree Don Jose Miguel Infante, and the three Ministers of State - to whom I have most particu larly recommended the task superintending the preparatory ineaeure,s for the meeting of a General Congress, which may it length be effixted with that successful issue which the province ardently desire, without those dangers anti disagreeable tesults which attend preceding aesemblies, and which were e.alculated to render the sacred name of Congress hateful to the people. " The division of the provinces appears to me to be an ob ject of the first consequence in accomplishing this important purpose.

Sin—l am commanded by My Lord, the Postmaster-General, to acknowledge the receipt of the Memorial which you trans mitted from the bankers, Merchants, and others of the town of Liverpool, stating, that notwithstanding they pay two guineas per annum for separate letter boxes at the Post Office, great confusion and delay, as well as personal and commercial incon venience, are occasioned from the insufficient number of clerks, and the want of space, and a proper arrangement of the windows • from whence the letters are delivered.

Wilson.—Captain Crichtly was, my Lord ; but he is now diseased (deceased).—( Laughter.) Lord Norbury.—Where do you live ? Wilson.—l live in Ilacketstown, my Lord. Lord Norbury.—At "Hacketstovin ay. You recollect the rebellion. Were you at the battle of Ilacketstown ? Wilson.—l was, my Lord—but doing no harm ; I was only a little chap—about the height of my stick. Lord Norbury.—Were you there when-Hanlon the Newry man was hanged ?—Nu answer. Lord Norbury.—Are you strong in your farm? Wilson.—l am, my Lord. • Lord Norbury.—Vou're a monstrous clever fellow—take care. of your farm, bud be ready to fight for it. (making a profOundly modest acknowledgment)— Long life to your Lordship. Lord Norbury.— , How many sheep did you lose ? Wilson.—Four, my Lord. Lord Norbury (to the Clerk of the Crown).—Well, give him four guineas. • And do you hear, Sir ? put that in your pocket, go home, take care of .your farm, and don't be afraid of the rebels. —(Tmmense laughte.) —Acquitted James and Mary Kenny, for stealing wearing apparel, the property ef Pat. Bolger. . his Lordship indignantly inquired, what Alagisrrate had sent such a case to assizes ? He was about to send it to the quarter sessions as before the proper tribunal, until he learned that the prisoners .had ,been already six months in custody. He then examined, the prosecutor, who stated that the pre. sutlers, man and Wife,-came to his house to look for lodgings, that having got in, they rose at night and.atole the articles in question. Lord Norbury.—Give this poor man 30s. ; acquit the wife, as she acted under the influence of her husband : find the hus band guilty, and make way for Mr. Brown. • A woman was indicted for stealing notes 'from a man named Coady. , • • Chief Baron O'Grady.-;-Coady, you, can only. prove that she took 14/., and you acknoWledge you owe her 201. Now, sup pose you pay. her the balance? I only throw it out as a - hint ; we will leave to your honour. Coady danced about the table like a madman, and asked his Lordship did be want to join in robbing bins too?--(Great laughter.) It was then proposed to the prosecutor that he should re ccive 224 2s. fki. in the hands of Captain Wright of the Police and that 6/. should be added to the 141. taken by the female prisoner. Coady made a furious appeal to his Liirdship—" Was it honest, or honourable, or justice, or any thing, for a poor man like him to be robbed by such rogues ? Why what wax now proposed was 0/. less than what he was offered yesterday.'.' Chief Baron—Yes ; but I think you may very fairly allow us the other 81. for all the trouble we !levelled with you to-day. (Laughter.) A man was indicted for stealing an old saddle. One of the retiring Jury, not considering six months' imprisonment suffi cient punishment for stealing an old saddle, wished to retire. His Lordrillip directed that the old saddle be given to him, that he might retire upon it.—(Loud laughing.)--Not Owen Conroy was indicted for stealing twelve stone weight of potatoes, the property of Thomas ITill. The prosecutor, a schoolmaster, swore, that worried by repeated thefts, and weary of watching his potatoes, he drove pins of bogwood into these potatoes; that on the. night of stealth, .he found potatoes in prisoner's house corresponding to those he lost. Court—Who knows that the prisoner did not pin his own po tatoes ?—(Laughter.) "Oh, no, my Lord, my pins were peculiar; some were long, some short, and some designedly broken."—( Laughter.)— The next case of interest was the trial of the Charter-school teacher for cruelty. A witness stated, that after each of five or Aix whippings with a rope, he was sent back to work a sum, which he did not perform. The Court observed that he was getting the sum on the wrong end.—(Laughter.)

THE STACKPOOLE CASE. For a considerable time the French Tribunals have been occupied with this case s which last week came on for betting before the Fourth Tribunal. The facts 'stated were briefly as follow • • In 1821 Mr. Win. Statkpoole ivas a prisoner in the King's Bench for a sum of 1721. Conceiving himself to have a claim against George Stackpoole for a very large sum of money, be brought an action against that gentleman, who retiring to France there obtained letters of naturalization, with the title of Count, and a maforat. For nearly 40 years a suit had `subsisted re specting the succession to the estate of John Stackpoole, under which William Stackpoole claimed; and alleging that he could furnish a -new and better title to the property, Air. Driver Cooper, his: attorney, solicited his release on this ground, and he was set at liberty, on giving a fresh Bill for the debton which he had been detained. Mr. W. Stackpoole then requested ids. Driver to ;visit France, for the purpose of proceeding against Alr. George Stackpoole, which he at first declined, but finally acceded to, on a promise of receiv ing 10,0001. sterling, if he succeededin recovering the property, to which lie believed himself entitled. Mr. Cooper was to advance out of his own fun& the expellees attending the prosecution of the enterprize. M. HEN NE4UIK, the Advocate, read several Papers to the Tribunal, with a view of aheiving that •he had embarked in the business, at the special and urgent request of Mr. William Stackpoole, Ile had, from time to time, transmitted accounts of his proceedings, and of several interviews that he had had upon the subject with a Mr. Palin; to whom Mr. Cooper gave a power of attorney to manage his all'airs in Eng land during his absence in France—being at that time largely concerned in the Hop trade. The contract between Mr. Coope ] r and Air. IV. Stackpoole, dated July 13, 1822, duly meow, was put in, by which Mr. Cooper was to be paid 1.0,0001. it' he should succeed in recovering irons G. Stackpoole the whole demand, amounting to upwards of two millions of filmes. 111. Hennequin stated the amount of, the claim to be derived from John Stackpoole, who died in Ireland, possessed of a very large fortune—that Geo. Stackpoole had taken out letters of administration, but that a period of forty-four years had elapsed, during which the coheirs of John Stackpoole had obtained no account or division of the pro perty. That Geo. Stackpoole, who had been condemned in a suit in the suns of 4 millions of francs, had realized a fortune in London and in India, to the amount of eleven millions, with which he .had settled in Paris. Mr. Hennequin then enlarged on the activity of Mr. Cooper, in effecting the object for which he had been employed, and Mr. W. Stack, poole's refusal to pay the 10,0001. • It appeared that 11r. W. Stackpoole had actually received 2,786,181 francs, but on die delivery of that sum two claims were made,. one by a creditor in Ireland for 158,000 francs, and that of Mr. Driver Cooper, for the 10,000/, upon the ori ginal agreement, the payment of which Mr. Hennequin con eluded his address by demanding. The cause' was adjourned to l'hursday, 30th March, when Mr. Dupin, the defendant's Counsel, will be heard. INTOLERANCE.

THOMAS ROWE, METHODIST PREACHER, TO THE ,RIGHT REV. THE LORD RISIIOPDF NRWIC . H. Lynn O , Nov 1826. MY LORD—I trust your Lordship will pardon the applica tion of a stranger, on a subject of a very powerful interest to the parties concerned; and as the case has occurred within the diocese of Norwich, I hope this application will not be consi dered intrusive or irregular: An infant child, in the parish of Middleton, near Lynn, who was baptised by the. Rev. Mr: Rowland, a Wesleyan Minister, died on Tuesday the ' Bth of this month. The minister of the parish, the very Re verend Dean Wood, has refused burial on the gr ound of the infant being unbaptised. A copy of the register of the child's baptism, and also of Sir John Nicholl's judgment on a simi lar case, have been delivered into the hands of the minister, and yet the very Reverend Dean persists in refusing burial to the child. If it were a doubtful case, or if there were any convenient ground in which the remains of the unolfend ing infant could be deposited, the parents would not have I troubled your Lordship on the occasion ; b u t as the body to turning ton mass of putrefaction before the eyes of its surviving relations, and they have do where to bury the dead out of their sight : , they earnestly entreat your Lordship's interference' I remain, my Lord, et,e,. THOMAS ROWS. Sir--" Days (says Tn E ..fo li b i ) su s p h P' ou s ld " Ze vi a t k, lh and Multitude of years should teach wisdom." How far Dean Wood may se cede to the truth of this remark, as applicable to me, I dare not venture peremptorily to decide. But lam inclined to be lieve, from the intercourse which has passed between us upon former occasions, he will not be indisposed to pay some defer. ence to the opinion of a brother clergyman,. who is now in the 824 year of his age; anti 1 have no hesitation in stating most unequivocally what that opinion is. The decision of so. well informed a civilian as Sir John Nicholl, justifies, I think, any Alinister of, the Established Church in pursuing that line of conduct towards Dissenters of all denominations which can dour, and meekness ? and moderation, and Christian ,charity, must make him anxious to pursue on all occasions, especially upon so interesting a one as that mentioned in your letter, and in behalf of an individual belonging to a sect remarkably peace ful, pious, and innofensive. Be so good as to show the Dean what 1 have written ; he may, perhaps, be induced to respect my suggestions. I am, Sir, yours, &c. H. NORWICII. To the Rev. Thomas Rowe, Wesleyan Minister, Lynn.i MR.

Mr. Cobbett acknow ledges to have been disappointed, as he anticipated finding no banks in this county ; b ut i n al l probability he did not sleep much the worse for it,_ as he is accustomed to make mistakes. He, however, predicts thht those banks which now remain are but short-lived I Mr. Cohbett is a fine well.proportioned man, about five feet inches high, ruddy complexion, his hair almost as white as drifttd snow ; is very abstemious and regular in his mode of living : he took a mut ton chop for his breakfast drank tea in a basin, and made hi s exit by the three o' c l oc k ' coach.
